    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Neeson revealed on a talk show that no scenes were filmed on board an actual train. Instead, all of these scenes were shot on a soundstage, with the same single mock-up train cabinet serving as all of them, only slightly redressed, and all the outside scenery added in post production with the help of green screens.
    • Goofs
      NYPD has no authority to leave the city limits and take charge of any crime scene let alone a hostage situation in another county. The Westchester County Police and Metro North Police would handle the stand off.
    • Quotes

      Michael MacCauley: Hey, Goldman Sachs. On behalf of the American middle class, fuck you.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits are done in the style of a train map.

    Fun movie, worth seeing on a big screen with big sound

    Neeson creates a likable, sympathetic character. This is necessary for the heightening of tension, which screws on inexorably until you just don't see any way out for him.

    The camera-work was particularly masterful - creative, meticulous, thought out to a granular level. There are two particular action-pieces towards the climax that are breathtaking, at least one of which looks like (but surely isn't) a single, extended take. The camera defines space and gravity, and is part of the expeience.

    Yes, there are some credibility straining factors. But it is after all a movie, not a procedural. On the other hand, there are some very neat surprises.

    Glad we saw it!
